crafted and researched study on color and light in paintings. This art instruction book is the
follow up to the acclaimed Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist . "James
Gurney's new book  Color and Light   cleverly bridges the gap between artistic observation and
scientific explanation. Not only does he eloquently describe all the effects of color and light
an artist might encounter  but he thrills us with his striking paintings in the process." -
Armand Cabrera  Artist James Gurney  New York Times best-selling author and artist of the
Dinotopia series  follows Imaginative Realism with his second art-instruction book  Color and
Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter . A researched study on two of art's most fundamental
themes  Color and Light bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge.
Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light 
the book examines how light reveals form  the properties of color and pigments  and the wide
variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about
color  testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary  pigment index  and
bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensable tool for art students and
artists on any level.
